A brief, precious, sweet Message to The Tribe of SchM'aGooglites: LISTEN UP!
Dear SchM'aGooglites,
As we approach Passover, please bear in mind how the Egyptians
were smitten (smitten real good, I tell ya!) when Pharaoh refused the
demands made of them by Charlton Heston, former President of
the NRA, to "Let Our People GO!" You gonna mess with an APE?
Have you young billionaire tykes never seen the awesome epic,
"The Ten Commandments?" or whatever it was called.
So! You refuse to connect Google to Blogger, you continue to
defy the Guinea Pig Nation with your impertinent indifference!
Which insults us! We may be small, mind you, but so was that
slingshot with which David slew Goliath! We are small but be
forewarned: The Guinea Pig Nation of Blogging Cavies plans
a potlatch meeting in the War Tent as we approach these
Holy Days, SACRED for so many...
And if ever we have felt ignored, insulted, belittled, minimized,
bullied, pushed over, slighted, THESE BE THE DAYS!
Your condescending indifference of our Need To Blog vexes us,
we are confused...it has been a month! You think we have nothing
worth saying, nothing worth showing? Hmmmm...well, mom has
come home (O.K. she had a headache and never actually left!)
BUT! let's say she has come bearing our Guinea Pig BIG-BOY
PantZ which we are puttin' on while issuing forth this ultimatum:
FIX THE alleged "Broken Link" you admit exists between Google,
Picasa, and Blogger...
OR BE SchMITTEN! ("Smitten" to you goys out there.)
oh, and puh-LEASE don't throw any of that "What happened to all
that "non-violent - Be Kind to All - stuff?" we espouse so earnestly:
Ever consider that we write after an indescribably foamy latte with just a
sprinkling of vanilla and subtle hint of cardamom, ever think of THAT?
Or, maybe we should print a retraction: Be kind to all beings with the
NOTABLE EXCEPTION OF -
{EDITOR: YumYUM?!}
"FINE! Mom, just writing thank- you notes for all the Passover cards
we've been getting! No worries. You go on back to sleep. We love you."
{EDITOR: O.K. guess I didn't notice the Passover cards, note to self:
notice the Passover cards. How thoughtful of our friends to send them.}
Whew! Back to business:
SchM'aGooglites,
You take us for furry little fools?!
BESIDES: We ARE kind... Kind of!
MAYBE YOU ARE THE EXCEPTION, HUH?!"
Our line hath been drawn in the sand...O.K. in our cage-litter,
but NONETHELESS DRAWN! Do not underestimate the Power
of The Guinea Pig Nation of Righteousness for we know where the
locusts dwell...and if you don't fix things so we can start blogging pictures
of our magnificent selves STAT, EXPECT VISITORS OF THE
SEVEN PLAGUES genre...just sayin' we hope you like frogs...
GOOGLE you dwell on your High Horse at MOUNTAIN VIEW,
CALIFORNIA: WE HAVE YOUR ADDRESS AND SO DOES THE
LOCUST KING! (and, just between you and me, he is NOT
an attractive locust, either... not to knock locusts, but ZOWZA-Wheeek!)
Wouldn't want HIM over for dinner. Knowing we WERE THE DINNER!
Have a nice day.
love,
YumYum
P.S. WE have our menorah handy and will be lighting one candle for each
night you choose NOT TO fix "The Blogger Debacle of 2011"...we're feeling
kind of Holy, Righteous, and DECIDEDLY in the mood for a Regime Change in
Silicon Valley!
Thus, YumYum hath spoken!

Dear Friends,
Since the GOOGLE/BLOGGER link remains broken,
we guinea pigs would like to use this opportunity to
showcase natural beauty beyond our wildest imagination.
This video transcends the most aesthetically choreographed
ballet ever performed on stage...because this is Dolphins Dancing
ballet ever performed on stage...because this is Dolphins Dancing
with their very own bubbles to music you can only hear
if you listen madly in Deep Silence with an open heart.
This is among our Top 10 Fave-O-Faves of all time.
The Dolphins blow these whimsical bubbles themselves...
Enjoy!

Love,
YumYum
P.S. Just press anywhere on the photograph to see Richard's love-struck eyes beneath his Blue Bonnet!
OOPSIE! Chai objects! Claims CLOAK OF INVISIBILITY DEFECTIVE!
Secret Cloak of Invisibility: So... what up, Mooks? You lookin' at ME?
Chai never was real good at being inconspicuous...some things never change, nor would we wish it any
other way.
He just wants a refund on the Cloak he ordered from the back page of a comic book he also shredded.
Bengal Cats: Can't live with 'em, Can't live withOUT 'em. But you do learn to live without paper towels
and toilet paper and sleep. His claim to fame besides his handsome, charismatic, Bad-Boy looks?
He adores guinea pigs! When together, we put carpet remnants atop their cages so he can perch there
to "guard them" with his fierce, tender demeanor. We suspect his believes them to be "little Bengals" or
even his very own kittens. But love us he does...go figure!
love,
YumYum

Oh, Bloody HORK! Mom read this and asked me
whether I thought it was kind or not, because
she wants this BLOG to be all about kindness.
I said GOOGLE is not a guinea pig or a sentient
or non-sentient being, it is simply STUPIS!
She asked me if I thought that was kind.
(Guess GOOGLE NOT THE ONLY ONE VEXING ME TODAY!)
So, here is a RETRACTION:
(and I don't mean one word of it, but here it is anyway,
mom told me to just "fake it till I make it" - being nice
and all that, probably what she does...)
Dear GOOGLE,

CHOOSE KINDNESS
Dear Friends, loved ones, strangers, and strange loved ones,

to animals at www.ChooseKindness.org containing an abundance of
resources about purchasing cruelty free products and living
a cruelty-free life. Such a bargain for us guinea pigs, since
we are the first line of experimental animals...please check it
out and CHANGE THY WAYS you consumeristas to living a cruelty-free
life! Else we GONNG GETCHA! AND WE will kiss you with our soft lips
until you feel so guilty you take it all back and begin writing letters
to the companies who experiment on animals inviting them to better
their karma by changing their ways before nuclear waste water flowing
from Japan into the Pacific Ocean morphs PREHISTORIC looking whales
and Octopusses and Thingies who rise out of the ocean with an army
of ZOMBIES who...
(EDITOR TO YUM-YUM: Sweetheart, you are going a wee bit off-topic,

GOOGLE & BLOGGER HAVE GONE MISSING...
Dear Friends, Piggies, MODS, owlets, and Accidental Tourists,
For three weeks we have been trying to post new photos accompanied
by my mesmerizing literary captions and commentaries only to
have GOOGLE AND BLOGGER say:
"Hey kid, go home! We're too busy playing with our newest
i-Thingy."
We cannot posts photos...and without them, what is the point,
the meaning of it all? GOOGLE continues to reassure us that
"this week" they will have us all connected again.
But have they, seriously, Have They? We think NOT!
So, we changed the look while we wait. To sand. Personally
we like sky blue. We just wanted to do something: we can be
impulsive now that we have discovered our passion for cantaloupe.
Please let us know what you think of the new format, if you miss
the blue sky we will never be able to find again, and whether or
not you will be shipping us crates of cantaloupes because them
things is lip-smacking GOOD! Or honeydews, fat watermelons, crunchy
apples, kale, sweet satsuma oranges, ripe mangoes, romaine lettuce,
wheatgrass, Snickers bars, and Kit-Kats.
Who Loves Ya, Baby?
Yum-Yum loves every one o'ya's!
(Pomegranate seeds are also be acceptable, thank you.)
